DIETER BOHLEN - Ten (1994 BMG CD 74321 23456-2)

01. Dr. MABUSE

Why should I cry?

It’s alright, it’s okay. It’s an odyssey.
Dr. Mabuse, Dr. Mabuse
It’s a shame - he’ll return in a shade of grey.
Dr. Mabuse, Dr. Mabuse

He’s living in the twilight sky.
Lonely voices - they will cry.
In a train of silence, he’ll return.
In a temple, he survived -
a cathedral, dead man’s life.
He’s the soldier - and your heart will burn.
He faced the devil, faced the hell.
Don’t look back, don’t tell.

Refrain:
It’s alright, it’s okay. It’s an odyssey.
Dr. Mabuse, Dr. Mabuse
It’s a shame - he’ll return in a shade of grey.
Dr. Mabuse, Dr. Mabuse
Every night, every day on the run -
he’s the man who has stolen the sun.
Oh, he lost all his life, all his dreams -
born ago hundred years by machines.

Oh, seven ways of loneliness -
tall strange man in old black dress.
You can see his silhouette in black.
A kiss of death, a secret friend -
he’s the loser in the end.
The soldier of the darkness, he’ll come back.
He’s knocking on forbidden doors
like years and years before.

02. IF THERE IS A GOD IN HEAVEN

If there’s a god in heaven
If there’s a new generation

I was only a number - I’m the king of misery.
I was searching for lonely nights (oh) in a fool’s man paradise.
Keep this moment forever - but a broken heart can’t smile.
I was looking like hypnotized ’cause this love will turn to lies.

Refrain:
If there’s a god in heaven,
he will show me the way to your heart
If there’s a new generation,
he will tell me the way we can start.

If there’s a god in heaven

Can’t you see what you’re doing? Oh, don’t wear a broken soul.
I was stranded in nowhere land - I was missing a helping hand.
This goodbye is forever - wrap your trouble in your dreams.
I was living in memory - I was searching my destiny.

How will I know when I’ll meet an angel?
How will I know that I should go (baby, go)?
Oh baby, how will I know when I’ll meet an angel?
How will I feel and see that you will carry me?

Baby, I’ll make love to you - it’s a secret rendezvous.
Feel: your heart will move the earth if you leave me, girl.
Baby, oh, I’m crying loud that your love will knock me out.
Baby, oh, a million years I was searching you.

REFRAIN

Baby, oh, we leave behind - all I want is second time.
Baby, oh, no gold can buy what I give to you.

I miss you
I feel blue

I know: it hurts to be alone.
Silence of tears are living in your home.
Sleep safe tonight, my careless love.

Oh baby, tonight you’ll be my hero -
the hero of my dreams.

Keep a light in your window - keep a light in your heart.
A summer breeze blowing softly - oh, you’re tearing apart.
Those days are over - you can’t stop a real love.

When you are lonely (lonely like me just forever), -
come, baby, let’s stay together.
Oh, someday there’s someone for you.
